The objective of this study was to determine whether sediment ingestion or water ventilation was the primary route of uptake for benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum), a detritivorous fish. Two experiments were conducted in which fish were exposed to sediments spiked with 1

In the main study, tritium-labelled benzo [a]pyrene ([3H]BaP) was added to oils of a wide range of viscosity (from 13.5 to ca. 8000 cSt at 40ยฐC) and these were applied once to mouse skin under conditions where grooming was either allowed or prevented. The binding of ['HIBaP to epidermal protein and
A method is described for estimating the biomass of bacteria in aquatic sediments by an enzymic measurement of D-lactic acid derived from hydrolysis of muramic acid. A correlation is shown between muramic acid and biomass. The Gram-negative rod bacteria contain about 20 ฮผg muramic acid/mg carbon whe
